These are the moments we live for 🐄
Turnout Day 🥳 - Winter housing is over, the dark nights & cold days are ended
Spring has arrived at Goldsland Farm
#SpringEquinox#farming 🤩
(2nd vid in 🧵 for group 2)
We were promised before the general election farms would be supported
We were told “Food Security is National Security”
So why are Farmers in the City today?
#SaveOurFamilyFarms
There is a special place in hell for people who wander off footpaths, leave gates open & cause horrendous accidents.
3 of my girls got stuck in bog in neighbouring woodland
9 people
3 tractors
5 hours
8 trees chopped down
3 distressed cows
Got them home safe in the end #farm24
Dad’s out checking the stock. He’s got a heart condition & early dementia but he drives around the farm daily, & takes the dog for a ride.
His life is embedded in this landscape
Sometimes he doesn’t know me but he can spot a problem with a cow at 1000 paces

#MyTBStory
The deed is done, my girls are gone 😞🐄
This story is dedicated to all our cows, our farm teams & our farm vets fighting bTB on the ground

Empty milk shelves?
Be assured we have ample 🥛 to feed us all
There are a few logistic probs such as deliveries to stores, fridge space in store, staff capacity to stock shelves
Buy little & often
All #British#Milk will be as fresh & healthy as ever 🇬🇧

Huge SHOUT OUT & THANK YOU to everyone who has supported me, coaxed, prodded & challenged me at home & away.
Last week I visited Buckingham Palace & collected my MBE for Services to Farming from Prince Charles.
An experience like no other!

Alicia turned up on my yard last night asking for work experience.
From the city & she wants to be a farmer 🎉
By 11 this morning she’s milked the cows with me, fed the calves & scraped the sheds 💪🏼
I love a bit of determination 🙌🏼
#WelshFarmingWeek#NextGeneration
Our 200 cow dairy herd supplies milk everyday to around 4000 households
It’s a real team effort with the cows & the people working together to get the job done all hours, all weathers. No one does sick days, bank holidays or other festive days
We all LOVE our job 🤩 #farm24
I’ve just wrestled this out of a cows mouth
It was mixed in the winter fodder so must have been left in the field last summer
Don’t be so dirty & irresponsible, take your dog mess home & bin it. If you don’t you may succeed in killing something one day
#DogMess
A Farm Victory yesterday - we passed our TB test 😅😅😅😅😃😃😃😃🐄✅
Still got to pass another one but we edge closer to safety. Stressful week for the team but we did it 👊🏼
